Florida man accused of threatening Trump released from house arrest

A Florida man was released from house arrest a week ago after being accused of making death threats on social media against Republican presidential and vice presidential candidates Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Michael Martin Wiseman, a 68-year-old Jupiter resident, was arrested in July and released from house arrest on Sept. 17, court records show.

He was arrested a few miles from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, in the same district where Ryan Routh allegedly planned to assassinate Trump on his golf course on September 15.

Wiseman had participated in a pretrial intervention program that could have led to the case being dropped, but prosecutors are now filing new charges against him.

Wiseman was charged with writing death threats, according to court documents. The threats came days after the first assassination attempt on Trump on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania – the shot that cut off the former president's ear.

The police became aware of the threat through tips from the Internet and from residents who expressed their concerns in person, Jupiter police said in a press release.

After examining the reports and the suspect's Facebook account, investigators determined that Wiseman had made threats against Trump and Vance, police said.

Wiseman's alleged threats occurred in Palm Beach County, where Routh was arrested in connection with the second assassination attempt on Trump.

According to court documents, Wiseman agreed to a pre-trial intervention with prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to posting messages on social media that included: “Before we're handed over to Western Russia, we should assassinate Trump and Vance,” “READY, AIM, FIRE. NOW,” and “Some people have to shoot better when they know they're going to kill a monster.”

According to the records, the posts also showed Trump's face in the crosshairs of a sniper scope.

As part of the agreement, Wiseman would be prohibited from possessing firearms, would have to undergo a psychiatric evaluation and would have to refrain from posting on social media for a period of time.

According to court documents, the state now intends to rescind the pretrial intervention agreement and reinstate charges against Wiseman. He is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning.

“After a fair solution to the case had been reached with strict conditions for the defendant, it turned out that the wrong means had been used to solve the case,” the prosecutor's office said in a statement on Tuesday.

“Both the state and the defense agreed to put the case back on the agenda to correct the error.”

Regarding Wiseman's release from house arrest, the prosecutor's office stated that he was not a flight risk and that he would have to report to the court during the hearing of his case.
